Environmental Policy Forum
"The Environmental Policy Forum (EPF) is a coalition of 16 professional bodies and learned societies promoting environmental sustainability and resilience for the public benefit." Collectively it represents around 170,000 qualified professionals across a wide range of different specialised disciplines, often working in industry or the public sector and many running successful businesses. It aims to influence UK environmental policy through a range of methods, including producing reports, holding webinars, conducting research, writing letters to Ministers, responding to Government consultations and submitting evidence to Select Committee inquiries.
